Most people with chronic sarcoidosis eventually get better, although symptoms may flare up from time to time.

It can last for years in some cases, causing permanent damage and scarring to the affected areas. In very rare cases, people can die from heart or lung sarcoidosis.

There’s no cure for the condition.

SILA states: “Every case of sarcoidosis is unique. A number of websites claim to understand the causes, and will sell you a cure. Please always consult your doctor before considering an alternative therapy.”
